Might I recommend that you use a "regular" class instead of one with
static members and methods? I think you'll find it more flexible (for
instance, you will be able to extend the class and replace the object in
memory with the extended class, or you could wrap one object in another,
etc., neither of which are possible with static methods).
You could just create a new instance of this class (BeanBag) at app
startup and toss it into the application scope.

It would be a bit more complicated, but your new code would be:
BeanBag bb = (BeanBag)application.getAttribute("my.package.beanBag");
AppleBean appleBean = bb.getAppleBean();
If you're feeling sassy, you could implement a getAppleBean() method in
a superclass from which all of your servlets extend, and clean up your
code a little bit more. Tres' objectique!

Synchronize the methods of your BeanBag class (whether static or not).

In the example, the bean in question was an application-scoped bean,
which requires synchronization in the generated Java code itself
(because there is a null check for the reference and the possibility of
creating a new object and inserting it into the application scope). Your
solution will have a single object in the application scope (or will be
a static singleton) and therefore the synchronization can be handled
locally (in the class).
Hope that helps,
